A blockchain explorer is an online tool that allows you to view real-time and historical data on a blockchain network. Each explorer is specific to a single blockchain, meaning you need separate explorers for Galvan, Ethereum, etc.
- Users can find all the transactions from the Galvan Blockchain network for a particular Galvan wallet address and view all its interactions with smart contracts. The platform can also be utilized to view distribution of private rewards (IZE-P) and NFT transactions.
Galvan Block Explorer (Etherscan)
- Users can find all the transactions on the Ethereum network for a particular address and view all the interactions with smart contracts. The platform can also be utilized to check Ethereum gas prices, find pending transactions and more.
Explorers function as a search engine for the blockchain, providing data such as address information, specific block features, and transaction details including sender, receiver, status, amount transferred, and fees paid. Each block explorer may look different but will provide similar components such as:- Search Bar: Allows users to search by specific information such as a transaction ID (transaction hash) or a wallet address.
- Transaction Details: Including hash, type of transfer, value, sender or recipient wallet, date and time, and associated fees.
- Block Details: Shows information like block height or number and the number of transactions.
- Address Details: Displays the balance and transaction history of addresses.
-
Network Information: Provides data on network status and total transactions.
Some explorers may also include additional features like charts showing transaction trends over time or even token pricing.
